You are judging him against past performances, I don't blame you.

Let me put it this way-if I asked you to list the reasons why he'd be a terrible stakee, you'd go like so

no roll
addictions
no good games
addictions

Bout it. He has the skills, experience and brilliant mind to be a damn good player. He's got tons of local action both in sc and in the bay area in general. If he has indeed turned the page so to speak and put his demons to rest (or at least well under control) he has as good a shot as anyone.

I'm not saying anyone has to help or should help, it's not like that. He also has no idea I am doing this. I just feel like the heeb I always saw in him is closer than ever to being real and want so damned bad to see the guy happy and successful. It's not like I would want anyone to get addicted to drugs, that is always a tragedy, but Dan is like a real damned shame to have gotten suckered in. It's an injustice really, until you meet and get to know the guy you can't know what I mean.

The call for prayer, just because you have no faith doesn't mean no one does. Christians are the biggest silent majority in this country bro, over 80million mutes is what we are, and I for one stand against being silent. I'm not ashamed of my beliefs, I pray for Dan I'll pray for you if you ask me to. Prayer is very powerful when it is GENUINE. Don't pray if you don't don't want to, just some positive vibes and well wishes is plenty.
